what car, what mods, do you get black smoke? do you see any fuel coming out? what happens when you floor it? sounds like dead 02 sensor without knowing any more information

Hey guys, yeah its really wierd..

mods are 3" exhaust, 3" dump pipe and pod filter..

stock everything else... i took it in to get it looked at they tested it..

the O2 sensor was going nuts, but then he checked another R33 and wa doing the same thing.. i think they are going to change the spark plugs and dyno run it... see whats going on.

is there anyway to tell if the fuel reg is screwed without having to anoy a mechanic ?? any simple checks ?

could be a faulty fuel reg... but even then... i still had 200km's to a tank whe mine died

slap a pressure gauge on and go for a drive.

you'll soon workout if its working.

although, all you do is rev the car while its sitting there and if it belches some nice fuel cloud then its pretty certain.

Mine filled a workshop with fuel vapour/cloud after a good 5 revs. IT was a big cloud :)

I checked the pressure like 3 years ago when i shat one... the fuel cloud i knew from, but checked it anyhow as i was bored.

I cant remember what its meant to be

Are you saying it is using a lot of fuel by reading the gauge?

Cause the fuel level sender can come off its bracket pretty easy. I know mine has done it in the past.

Might be worth checking. Sometimes it is the simple things.

The TV show Top Gear reported getting 4 mpg in a Ford GT40 doing burnouts etc. on a race track. That is about 60L/100kms full throttle on a race track. If you can beat that whilst driving off boost, it can only mean a fuel leak somewhere. I cannot imagine fuel consumption THAT high just from poor tuning.

I was thinking huge injectors with PFC in japan and they replaced the

PFC with a stock computer to sell it but even then it would run like shit and not use that much fuel.

I would say you have a leaky injector/s, a hole in the pressurised supply side of the fuel system. or a V8 holden lives in your petrol tank :rolleyes:

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
